  [SRU] Kernel too big for boot partition

Status in linux-mako source package in Vivid:

Status in linux-mako source package in Wily:

Status in linux-mako source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Recent additions to the mako kernel have made it too big for the
  mako boot partition. Without this patch, a boot.img cannot be created.

  [Test Case]

   1. Compile the mako kernel without this patch.
   2. Attempt to create a boot.img
   3. Notice that the kernel is too big.
   4. Apply this patch.
   5. Run steps 1-2 again.
   6. Notice that the kernel is no longer too big.

  [Regression Potential]

   * This patch removes ext2 and ext3 and enables ext4's backward-
  compatibility mode for them instead. The only regression potential is
  within ext4's backward-compatibility.
